Michigan authorities are investigating after human remains were discovered inside a freezer in a townhouse last week.

Just after noon on Thursday, November 7, the East Lansing Police Department (ELPD) was called to the home for a suspicious situation.

Police said the 911 caller indicated there was blood on the floor inside the residence.

When police arrived at the scene, they confirmed there was dried blood on the floor, but no signs of a break-in.

After a thorough search of the home, the police found a body inside a freezer. In addition to the first victim, the police located possible human remains of a second individual of unknown gender inside the same freezer.

Biohazard stickers were on the front door of the home Friday, WLNS reported.

A local resident who lives near the townhouse told WLNS he hasn’t seen anyone come in or out of the house in months.

“We were thinking last night, how many days we’ve spent sleeping in bed, potentially just steps away from a dead body,” Andrew Whitney told the media. “It appears that something violent and serious has happened.”

Michigan State Police are now reviewing the evidence.

No arrests have been made. Police believe there is no threat to the public.

Whitney added that investigators were at the home all night Thursday into Friday and that the smell was overwhelming.

“I didn’t smell death, but if I had to guess, it was the smell of death,” Whitney said.

Acting East Lansing Police Chief Chad Pride told WLNS that a delay between finding the remains and the crime taking place would make the investigation more difficult, but he was confident detectives would get to the bottom of it.

“My hope is that we can find something quickly so that the public is at ease, the family is at ease, the neighbors are at ease,” Pride said.

A spokesperson for the company that manages the home told WLNS that management is fully cooperating with the investigation, but could not comment on the situation because it was an active investigation.

Fox News Digital reached out to the East Lansing Police Department and Coolidge Place management for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
